Yep, it was an oral history of sorts that was recited in the tents and around campfires. It is the basis for all modern mono-theistic religions. There is some evidence of an older middle eastern one god religion that predates the worship of Yahweh and it even sports a flood story and a very similar creation story... The name of it eludes me though.
